The Divine Design: My Journey to Embracing
Unique Assignments and Gifts by Larry W. Robinson
Discovering Purpose Beyond Comparison: My Personal Odyssey Towards Divine Assignments
In our fast-paced world dominated by comparison and competition, I've frequently felt the pressure to keep up, to be better, to outperform, and to outshine. But through my spiritual journey, I've come to a transformative realization. What if we aren't here to compete at all? What if our true calling is not a race against one another but a divine assignment unique to each one of us? This understanding changed my life, leading me to the belief that "There is an Ordained Audience for Every Gift" and that “There is no Competition in the Universe, only Assignment.”
​
Why I Believe “There is an Ordained Audience for Every Gift”?
​
At the heart of my Christian faith is the conviction that we are all wonderfully crafted in God's image (Genesis 1:27). This means that each of us holds unique talents, abilities, and gifts. As expressed in Romans 12:6, “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.” I've come to see these distinct gifts not as random distributions, but as purposeful endowments. God, in His infinite wisdom, has designed each of us with abilities tailored to specific purposes and audiences.
As I reflect upon my journey, I recognize that every talent, including mine, is meant to resonate with a particular audience. I don’t need to push my gift where it doesn't naturally belong; it will always find a home with those it's divinely destined to touch.
​
My Embrace of “No Competition, Only Assignment”
​
Throughout my life, I’ve seen the societal drive towards competition, constantly measuring our worth against others. But Christ's teachings presented me with an alternate view. He never competed; He sought to fulfill His divine mission. This revelation was liberating. I realized that when I shift my focus from competition to my divine assignment, I can channel my energy more purposefully.
​
1 Corinthians 12:4-6 resonated deeply with me: “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone, it is the same God at work.” While our gifts may differ, they all emerge from a divine source.
​
Conclusion: My Call to Embrace Our Divine Assignments
​
As a follower of Christ and a messenger of His teachings, I urge everyone to recognize and walk confidently in their divine assignments. By focusing on the unique gifts and the ordained audience God has destined for us, we can honor Him and serve those we are meant to impact.
​
My journey has taught me not just to shift my perspective but to undergo a profound transformation of the soul. By accepting and promoting the idea that there is no competition, only assignment, we not only find inner peace but also create a space where everyone can thrive in their divine roles. This collective journey, anchored in Christ's teachings, assures that we can all flourish in unity, celebrating the myriad of gifts we each bring to the world.
